Excerpt

Ryder sat back and blew out a breath,
feeling a flutter of nerves. He laced his fingers behind his head and
only realized then that Dmitri was still in the room. He slid his
gaze to Dmitri.

“What are you up to?” Dmitri
asked. “You know that lass. I could see it on your face. If you
have Tristan bring her up here, you’ll feel Con’s wrath.”

Ryder dropped his hands to the arms
of his chair. “That occurs all the time, and I do know Kinsey. I’m
no’ yet sure why she’s here. But I aim to find out.”

“Meaning?” Dmitri urged.

“We were lovers three years ago.
Until I realized that I’d fallen in love with her. I didna want
anyone to know that our spell preventing us from feeling deeply for
humans no longer worked with me.”

Dmitri leaned forward, his brow
furrowed deeply. “That was around the time Hal fell in love with
Cassie.”

“Cassie arrived at Dreagan right
after I returned from Glasgow.”

“All right,” Dmitri said as he
rubbed his jaw. “So you fell in love before Hal. No’ a big deal.”

Ryder lifted one shoulder in a shrug.
“I suppose no’. No’ compared to her seeing me in dragon form a
few weeks ago when I was in Glasgow to protect the city from the Dark
invasion.”

“Oh, fuck.”

Anger crackled through him every time
he thought about how close Kinsey came to dying that night. If Ryder
hadn’t been there, she would’ve been taken by the Dark, her soul
drained. “There was a Dark after her. I shifted into human form to
help her. Unfortunately, she saw it all.”

“And?” Dmitri pressed with a
brown brow raised.

Ryder looked at the screens,
following Kinsey from one to the other as Tristan walked her to the
manor. “I’ve never seen anyone so terrified before.”

“Of the Dark?”

Ryder wished. That night still
haunted him. No matter how many times he thought over what happened,
there hadn’t been another way to save her. “Of me. I can still
hear her scream before she ran away.”

“So she doesna know you’re here?”

“I doona believe so. She’d rather
walk through the fires of Hell than be anywhere near me.”

Dmitri sat there for a moment before
he gave a slow shake of his head. “You’re having Tristan bring
her to you, are you no’?”

“I am.”

“That . . . could be a bad move.”

“It probably is.” In more ways
than one.

DRAGON EGG HUNTWe mentioned earlier in the post that there is a DRAGON EGG HUNT going on throughout the tour. There are 9 "Dragon Eggs" (i.e. Blog Tour Stops) throughout the blog tour. Each representing one of the books in the series! The fun part is that, like a regular egg hunt, you'll have to find these special stops and then FIND the "Dragon Egg". The "Dragon Egg" is actually information within the site. Yup, site. ;) You'll have to visit each tour host, each day to see if they have a Dragon Egg for you to find. The Rafflecopter widget will provide you with the hint. The hint will be a question or it will ask you for specific information.
